"Golden Years" is based on gluttonous patterns, red gold and sapphire blue embellishments on a black background, and the old black material of the original mine is used as a tire, and the deep and simple and ancient texture is gorgeous and majestic, which makes people feel awe-inspiring. Both the ornamentation and the shape give a mysterious atmosphere and power that is beyond the world. It is extremely difficult to apply the enamel color process to the carcass of the purple sand pot, because the purple sand "eats" the glaze very much, and the success rate is minimal. Its craftsmanship is extremely complicated, the lines are interlaced with yin and yang, slow and orderly, and meticulous.
"Shayin" respects the purple of ancient rhyme, uses rare raw purple mud, and carefully shapes the body of the pot. Drawing on the classics of the weekly plate, it is cleverly transformed into a dragon plate shape, implying that the dragon energy gathers.

The idea of "fragrant jade" originated from the Palace Museum's Ruyi-style cloud shoulder. The upper part of the jug is covered with a ruyi cloud shoulder pattern, which is embellished with enamel and gold and silver decorations. In traditional Chinese culture, Ruyi represents auspiciousness and beauty, the group of flowers on the lid of the pot is round and complete, and the patterns such as lotus, vase, and double fish are wrapped with wind belts, and the lid, body, and bottom of the pot are staggered and laid out, and the real gold and silver and gems are glazed when firing, and each color must be fired once.
The "Six-Eyed Dzi" is a clever blend of traditional craftsmanship and cultural implications. The overall shape is simple and elegant, full of strong historical charm and cultural connotation, which is an ideal choice for tea tasting and collection. The pot knob is based on dzi, which means auspiciousness, peace and health. The body of the pot has a round and full shape, giving people a feeling of stability and thickness. The spout is short and delicate, and the streamlined design ensures a smooth flow of water without dripping when pouring tea.

Peach blossoms occupy a very high position in the emotional life of Chinese literati, whether it is stepping on spring, appreciating spring, traveling in spring, Wing Chun, or hurting spring, it has always been an important theme for poets and painters throughout the ages.

Peony is fragrant, rich and auspicious, and has become a kind of Chinese culture. The encounter between peony and purple sand is a match made in heaven. "Fanghua", as one of the purple clay pots of the Flower God series, is specially selected from old black materials, with wrong gold and silver, which is more in line with the aesthetics of contemporary people, rich and connotative. The most difficult process in making the pot is the peony pen on the body of the pot – unlike drawing on paper, every stroke of the line needs to be exactly the same during the kiln firing process.
